My favorite From Software game. I love it.

First of all, the scale of this game is insane. Vertically and horizontally impressive. The map becomes bigger and bigger. You unlock places you think they don't exist. You find secrets everywhere and it left me very impressed. Most of the dungeons are very unique, especially the Legacy Dungeons, but some catacombs just look the same.

The combat got refined, Ashes of War make a lot of difference and every playstyle works. I just felt like the focus was quite big on spells. Magic seems to be very overpowered.

The boss designs are sick, I would not call this game the hardest Fromsoft Game though. Maybe cause I am used to their games. Malenia is my favorite. Every big boss/lord is quite unique. Unfortunately the smaller dungeons have a lot of identical bosses and that became a bit annoying after a while. Nonetheless, the bosses feel fair besides one or two. (LOOKING AT YOU MALENIA)

The lore and story is told very directly to you, I would say it's easier to understand than the rest of FS games. George R.R. Martin did a great job. I was very invested in the story and lore. Questlines too, especially Rannis. The endings are very different from each other and it's worth checking them out.

This game will be talked about for a while and I am sure it will take a lot of time to discover everything. I got around 92 hours and the plat trophy popped. I am sure I missed a lot of stuff but I am 100% sure I will get back to it.
